PTI leader Shahbaz Gill arrested from Muzaffargarh

Muzaffargarh: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shahbaz Gill has been arrested from Muzaffargarh for violating Section 144, GNN reported on Sunday.

According to details, Punjab Home Minister Attaullah Tarar has confirmed PTI leader's arrest.

Earlier, PTI leader Shahbaz Gill raised questions over the impartiality of the election body as polling is underway for the by-elections in Punjab.

Shahbaz Gill said the PML-N has resorted to rigging in the by-polls after seeing a large turnout of PTI voters.

Sharing a video of a man on his Twitter account, who claimed that the names of two of his family members are missing from the voter list, Shahbaz Gill asked, “Who is responsible for depriving someone of his right to vote?” He suggested lodging a case under Article 6 of the Constitution.

He also shared another video of a woman polling agent who claimed that rigging was being carried out in the PP-167 constituency. The woman polling agent said that she was forced to leave the polling station after her CNIC was objected to and was not allowed to enter the station for one-and-half hours and in the meantime, the voting process continued.

Gill asked, “Is this possible without the involvement of the ECP?”
